HK G36 22LR Black 10 Round Rifle – Rugged 18.13″ Rimfire Replica, 10+1

Description

The HK G36 22LR Black 10 Round Rifle is HK’s licensed G36 rimfire in matte black (HK part 81000995), chambered in 22 LR and shipped with one 10-round magazine.

HK G36 22LR Black 10 Round Rifle Overview

HK lists an 18-1/8-inch barrel, about 5.5 pounds without a magazine and an overall length of 28.2 to 38 inches depending on stock position. Our store title calls it a 16.1-inch barrel, but HK and Lipsey’s both list the longer 18-inch barrel for this model, so treat 18.13 inches as correct. Lipsey’s describes a 1-in-16 twist, a muzzle threaded 1/2×28 and polymer flip-up sights.

Who Makes the Rimfire G36

HK licenses its rimfire replicas to Carl Walther in Germany, which builds them as straight-blowback 22 LR rifles. They copy the look, controls and handling of the military rifle, but internally they are simple rimfire semi-autos, so the parts and magazines are specific to the 22 LR model.

A Training Rifle With G36 Ergonomics

The rimfire G36 copies the folding and collapsing stock, the carry handle profile and the overall feel of the military rifle, which makes it a useful training rifle for practicing reloads and manipulations without centerfire cost. The black finish is the classic look. The stock folds to the side for storage, and the rifle can be fired with it folded, although accuracy suffers.

Controls and Sights

The G36 rimfire copies the military layout, with the charging handle under the carry handle, a G36-style selector safety and a magazine release behind the magazine well. Flip-up polymer sights handle iron-sight shooting, and the top rail accepts a red dot or a small scope. The polymer furniture shrugs off bumps, and the folding stock makes it easy to store in a short case.

Ammunition and Reliability

22 LR remains the least expensive way to practice rifle handling skills, though prices vary with lots and brands. Blowback rimfires like this one generally run best with high-velocity 36- to 40-grain round-nose loads; bulk subsonic and standard-velocity ammunition may not cycle reliably, and dirty, waxy rounds build fouling in the chamber. Rimfire primers also produce the occasional dud, which is a normal part of shooting 22 LR.

Honest Caveats

The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, but a suppressor is an NFA item that requires an approved ATF Form 4 and must be legal where you live. The rimfire G36 is heavier than many 22 LR rifles, and magazines are specific to the model and cost more than common rimfire magazines. This is a licensed replica, not an HK-built rifle, so it shares no major parts with a centerfire G36 or HK416, and resale reflects its rimfire role.

State Laws and Ownership

Pennsylvania does not require a permit to buy or own this rifle, and buyers 18 and older can purchase it through a dealer. Other states are stricter: some cap magazine capacity, some regulate features such as pistol grips, adjustable stocks, flash hiders or threaded barrels, and a few restrict how a long gun may be transported. Some states regulate folding stocks, flash suppressors or threaded barrels even on rimfire rifles. Check your state and local rules before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer about any restrictions where you live.
